After saying that, she suddenly remembered that she had followed Qin Huai out that morning.
Realizing that the man must have seen me, Qiao Qiqi asked in surprise, "Since you saw me go out, why didn't you ask me where I was going?"
Qin Huai immediately fell silent.
Meeting Qiao Qiqi's probing gaze, she inexplicably dared not look back, "I...I'll go out and wash up."
Seeing him turn and leave, clearly trying to escape, Qiao Qiqi raised an eyebrow.
Realizing that the man was clearly afraid she wouldn't come back, yet dared not stop her, Qiao Qiqi couldn't have been happier.
The thought that he might have been worrying about this all morning while working made her want to tease Qin Huai. She followed him into the yard and asked, "Are you afraid I'll leave? Qin Huai, you can't bear to part with me, can you?"
The man didn't say a word, but his ears quietly turned red.
Qiao Qiqi laughed and directly called him out: "Qin Huai, take a look in the water, your ears are all red! You're shy!"
When she pointed it out so directly, Qin Huai finally lost control and turned around to glare at her.
"Aren't you ashamed?"
"What's there to be ashamed of? I'm happy that my own man is thinking about me."
Qiao Qiqi stared at the handsome face in front of her, which was covered in water, and thought it looked more and more handsome the more she looked at it.
Previously, my focus was on the man's eyebrows, eyes, and nose, but now, watching a drop of water slide down his cheek to his lips, I realized that his lips were also very beautiful.
It has sharp edges and corners, and is neither too thin nor too thick.
Seemingly speechless, she gently pursed her lips, managing to swallow the water droplet.
Ouch! This is terrible!
Qiao Qiqi finally couldn't hold back any longer. She bent down and kissed Qin Huai on the corner of his lips: "I can't bear to part with you either!"
Qin Huai's eyes widened in surprise!
Qiao Qiqi had already quickly slipped into the kitchen, squatted in the corner, and was digging at the ground with a wooden stick.
She's shy too!
After all, this was the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to flirt with a man!
But what could she do? Qin Huai was such a good person. She was afraid that if she didn't hurry, he would run away.
After burying her head in the sand in the kitchen for a few minutes, Qiao Qiqi finally brought the food back to the room, only to find that Qin Huai was changing his vest. When he saw her come in, he immediately put it on.
Qiao Qiqi didn't see any abs and pouted in disappointment.
He sat down at the kang table with two bowls of rice, placing one of them in front of Qin Huai. "Eat!"
"Mm." Qin Huai also sat down opposite.
Qiao Qiqi's rice is made with small corn kernels, brown rice, and white rice. She liked to cook rice this way when she was in the modern world. It has a strong corn aroma and the chewy texture of whole grains. It's so delicious.
She happened to have these three types of rice in the kitchen, so she just cooked them like that.
But she also knew that food was scarce in this day and age, and almost every household ate porridge for every meal, and it was mostly coarse grains, rarely cooked. But she thought that Qin Huai must be hungry after working in the fields all morning, and that porridge would not be enough to fill his stomach.
Seeing Qin Huai look into the bowl, Qiao Qiqi originally thought he would say she was wasteful, but he only glanced at it lightly before frowning at the two dishes and asking, "Where did you get the meat and eggs?"
"I went home this morning, and my mom brought it to me," Qiao Qiqi said matter-of-factly.
But Qin Huai's brows furrowed even deeper.
She knew that Qiao Qiqi was spoiled by her parents, so she didn't say anything and could only lower her head and eat.
Seeing that he was silent, Qiao Qiqi didn't blame herself, but she still had something to say: "Qin Huai, let's go get our marriage certificate this afternoon!"
"puff……"
A spray of rice rained directly at him.
Caught off guard, Qiao Qiqi only had time to close her eyes before being sprayed with rice grains all over her face.
When the rice rain stopped, she opened her eyes again and was met with Qin Huai's shocked and embarrassed face.
Realizing what had happened, he immediately reached out to help her wipe it, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Qiao Qiqi dodged his hand. "It's okay, I don't mind."
What's there to complain about after we've already kissed?
It's because Qin Huai just ate an egg, and there was oil on his rice, making his face oily.
Qiao Qiqi disliked this feeling, so she put down her chopsticks, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), and said, "I'm going to wash up."
Qin Huai watched her turn and leave, his face still red for a long time.
He felt his chest pounding, and his mind was filled with Qiao Qiqi's words. When she mentioned getting a marriage certificate with him again, he swallowed hard.
For some reason, I felt a little nervous.
"Ah!" A sudden exclamation came from the courtyard.
Without a second thought, Qin Huai rushed out and stood in front of the basin of water. "What's wrong?"
Qiao Qiqi pinched her left index finger with her right hand and looked up with a wronged expression. "I burned myself while cooking, and I forgot when I was wiping it off, so I scraped the skin."
It's not that Qiao Qiqi is being delicate, it's just that the blisters from the burns really hurt when they break open.
Qin Huai looked down and saw a red spot on the side of her fingernail, with the skin still hanging there. Her heart ached, and she grabbed Qiao Qiqi's wrist and led her into the house.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Qiqi asked, confused.
Until she saw Qin Huai pick up a small bottle from the windowsill, open the cap, and rub it on her hands.
"This is badger oil, it's specially for treating burns. Apply it twice a day, and it will be healed in two days."
"This is badger oil?"
Qiao Qiqi had heard of it before when she was in her hometown. It was said to be an oil extracted from wild animals, but she didn't know exactly how it was extracted. Anyway, such things are rare in the 21st century.
